Upholstered Chair - I did it!

Look! I upholstered this chair! But don't look too closely. From a distance, it looks pretty good (wait, can somebody please turn on the lights? No?).

I went about it the wrong way. I removed all the nails, cut a piece of fabric that was too small (then had to sew two pieces together), and then RE-USED the same bent nails. Yeah. Didn't realize until I was knee-deep in bent nails that they were not intended to be reused. Next time, I will do a little research ahead of time. But this is what you get when your husband takes your 3-year-old out for the afternoon and your baby is sleeping. A spur-of-the-moment unplanned project.

But, it's done. And no, we still don't have our Christmas tree up. This project was completed a month ago!
